Occasionally I get messages from readers who email me via this blog’s “Contact Me” form. They sometimes want to exchange links, or in the case of the Lorne Baxter video, they’ll ask me for the code to put up the video on their own sites. But sometimes, crazy Obama supporters use the “Contact Me” form to give me a piece of their minds, and to defend their beloved messiah.
Just the other day, I received one such message criticizing Republicans for focusing exclusively on G-d, guns and patriotism. So I wrote this person back asking him what problem he had with G-d, guns and patriotism. Here’s his response:
You’re simply proof that just because you have your own website, and can spew out simplistic ideologic talking points, doesn’t mean you have
a semblance of intelligence. If you look at Obama’s speeches, his voting record, his passion for dignity in public service, and his incredible AMERICAN story, you would feel really stupid and ashamed for questioning Obama’s patriotism. First off, that is simply not true that he refuses to salute the flag, just because there is one video circulating on youtube of him without his hand over his heart doesn’t mean that he refuses to. Have you put your hand over your heart every single time you have ever heard the pledge of allegiance or national anthem in your entire life? You would be lying if you said yes? Would you bet your life on it? I know I haven’t — does that make me an American hater as well? Grow up — seriously!
Have you read any of his books? Do you actually know any facts, or do
you just reiterate what Limbaugh and Hannity say? Is forgoing a ritzy
and wealthy future in corporate law, to go work as a community organizer (making crappy pay) in Chicago, not patriotic. Is passing the first ethics reform in over a decade in the Senate not patriotic. How about expanding healthcare to hundrends of thousands of children in IL? Is that not patriotic? How about having the judgement and courage to oppose the Iraq War, which we all know was a disasterous blunder by the Bush Administration, from the very start? Is that not patriotic? So according to you patriotism is wearing a fucking flag pin, never forgetting to put your hand on your heart for the national anthem or pledge of allegiance, and then pissing on your own country when it comes to healthcare, foreign policy and our energy crisis. No, darling, patriotism is something that is etched into action — not words. It’s something you do — not say. And it is never as easy as wearing some stupid pin or saluting the flag. That’s about as good as some italian mobster who kills innocent people and then goes to church on Sunday. You may express your patriotism, but Obama lives it.
And by the way, what you think as liberal is has now moved to the center. If you don’t believe me, just wait until November. People are
fed up with the republicans. They’re fed up with 50 million people without health insurance, and McCain’s solution is for the market to handle it. They’re pissed off that Bush let Osama Bin Laden and the
Taliban go, and instead opted to invade Iraq –a sovereign nation that had absolutely nothing to do with 9/11. These are facts dear. They
can’t be reputed. No WMD’s were found, and no connection to 9/11 or
the Taliban were found. Even Bush admitted this. You keep trying to
convince people that Obama is anti-american, because you may has well
be trying to convince them that $4 and $5 a gallon for gas isn’t too bad, and that spending $10 billion in a month in Iraq indefinitely isn’t bad either — cuz that’s what McCain is offering. It’s a disgraceful extension of the politics of fear that have divided this country for the past 7 years. If you want to preach against Obama, do it so on facts, and on issues. Not on guilt by associations or things that are simply not true. If you aren’t willing to do that, which would presume you aren’t — then you’re just acknowledging what everybody in the U.S. knows is true — that republicans can’t win on the issues anymore, because the vast majority of Americans have shifted to the left, after 7 years of Bush. The only way you can win is by smearing a candidate, by calling him unpatriotic, by lying to the American people and bringing up any other insignificant aspect of Obama’s life. Anything but facts and issues.
First off, what is it with Obama supporters being so long winded?
Anyway, let me try and address this arrogance and nutiness once and for all.
First off, I don’t feel stupid and ashamed in the least for questioning Obama’s patriotism. Are there people who don’t put their hands on their hearts for the national anthem out of ignorance? Certainly. But Barack Obama is running for position of Commander in Chief of our military. So he’d damn well better know the protocol. But considering that he spent 20 years attending a church with an America hating pastor, I think it’s obvious that Obama has let his true colors slip by refusing to salute our flag.
He’s nothing but a Jesse Jackson clone. The only difference is being that Obama speaks English, whereas Jackson speaks Ebonics. But I digress…
Also, notice how liberals say we should focus on the “real issues,” whenever a politicians unsavory, associations are revealed. In other words, it doesn’t matter if a presidential candidate has close ties to domestic, Middle Eastern and African terrorists. The only thing that matters to these people, is having their leaders play Robin Hood.
And finally, no liberal diatribe would be complete without the usual rants of Bush lied, there were no WMD’s in Iraq. Saddam Hussein had no connection to Al Qaeda, we’re paying too much for gas, blah, blah, blah.
Mr. Moonbat conveniently ignores the fact that 550 tons of uranium were recently found in Iraq. In terms of oil prices going through the roof, again, we have the Democrats, and their environmentalist minions who care more about pellicans and polar bears than human beings, to blame for that.
End of rant!
